R178. Don’t Just Stand There and Read: Literary Events That Go Beyond the Usual
Thursday, February 27, 2014
12:00 pm to 1:15 pm
We’ve all been to a reading that had us checking our watches (or wishing the poet would check his). Members of this panel are offering a variety of exciting antidotes: multi-disciplinary events, participatory events, carnivals, avant-garde garden parties, and more. Find out how literary events can build audiences, build on textual work, and deliver more than just wine and cheese—not that we’re against wine and cheese.
